Sightseeing

Beautiful stone gothic cathedral. Great to stroll through on a Saturday afternoon and view the architecture or Sunday afternoon to hear an organ recital.

Drinks & Nightlife

Great bar/lounge with large outdoor seating area. Very good beer selection. The food is also pretty good, though semi-pricey. Some weeknights feature live music!

There is also one at 105th Street. Both are good. However, I prefer this one. The service and atmosphere seem more down to earth. Either way, you can't go wrong with the beer selection or the food!

Best local dive-bar! Broad mix of people...Can seem a bit cliquish depending on when you go. However, people are generally friendly. If Gus (owner) or Jeff are there, tell them I sent you...

A modern day speakeasy. Cocktails are amazing! Pricey, at $16 a piece, but well worth it. I would suggest giving them an idea of flavors you like and just let them create. Reservations required.

If you are here, you may as well try the famous Tom's Restaurant. Try to avoid weekends though, that is when a lot of the tourism crowd stops in and it gets a bit crowded.

Pretty good cuban restaurant. I love the fried plantains! Unless you are going just for a drink (mojito!), sit at a table as the service tends to be quicker.

Two words...Truffle Fries! The bar selection is pretty good too. Also, the downstairs turns into a lounge/club sort of vibe on weekend nights.

The best french restaurant I have personally been to. It's a bit of hike since it's in Brooklyn but easy to get to (just off the A train). The atmosphere, decor, food, wine, service...all great!

On the second floor of the new science building on the corner. Good coffee. You probably want to grab it and go as it is always crowded with students studying.

Essentials

Extremely convenient if you want to grab a few quick things or a quick salad. Kind of expensive so I wouldn't recommend doing any heavy shopping here.

Shopping

Good food, not great. But when it's late at night, the partying is winding down and you realize your hungry on the way back to the apartment...this 24 hour place is a gem!
